On Wednesday, March 19th; a very enjoyable District - meeting. of the Ontario Women Teacher's Federa- _ tion'was held in the Port Perry Pub- lic School. The meeting with Presi- dent Mrs. Brethour in the chair was 'opened with "Oh Canada", followed by the. reading of the minutes of the last meeting by Secretary Mrs, Wal- lace, "The role call followed with replies given in the form of questions about Federation, after which the business section of the meeting was conducted. The executive meeting and 'banquet were discussed .ds well as-the Spring Assembly, Mrs. Bagshaw then gave a very interesting summary of the Fall Con- ference at Brighton, which. she had attended as our representative. The theme of the conference had been "Think professionally and with vis- fon" and much attention had been gi- ven to the subject of Professional Approval. This was followed by a delightful piano solo by Miss Barbara Brethour after which Mrs. Jewell, Principal of Cannington Public School reported on the Curriculum Conference held last November at the King Edward Hotel "Although Mrs, Jewell had been placed in the - Principals group she was able to report many things of interest to all teachers. A lovely solo "Christopher Robin" was given at this time by Mrs. Pink. ham. Mrs. Kilgour, Principal and well known for her work in education, highlighted the evening with an in- formative address on the problems of the Gifted Child. Pressure from the home and school upon the superior' child often hinder his physical and social growth, Mrs. Kilgour said, while at the other ex- treme in some cases the child is of- ten frustrated in the classroom and in "the home by a lack of challenge "in his work. These problems often combined with a complex from being - different, can cause the gifted child to waste his talents, She 'spoke of how this problem could be dealt with through an extra challenge within the classroom or a definite program of Acceleration as - it is practised in the North York area. This excellent addrvess was con- cluded by the stressing of the fact that every teacher has a duty to each child and his special need. After Mrs. Rennie thanked Mrs. Kilgour for her interesting speech the meeting was brought to a close - with the singing of God Save the Queen. Brooklin Win Second Game . But Lose Third to Newmarket - Brooklin Combines won a "decisive | x victory Saturday night in the Port Perry arena by defeating the New- market Smokerings 7 to 2,.and even the best-of-seven final series at one game each, Bill Cornish sparked the Combines' attack with three goals, with Jack Germond, Neil Pascoe, Bob Carnegie, and Wayne Redshaw each getting one. The first period ended in a 1-1 tie with Jack Germond netting the first goal after 4:53 of play. Million scor- ed the Smokerings' tally at: the mid- way point of the first period. In the second period, the Combines' attack exploded, and before the per- iod had ended, they had rapped in five goals, with only one being an- swered by the Smokerings. The only scoring in the third per- iod was a goal by Bill Cornish at the 3.20 mark, to give him a hat trick, and put the Combines' chances back in contention. +" In the third game played here on Monday, March 24th, Newmarket edged Brooklin 7 to 6 in a ten minute overtime session. This was a fast game, nice to watch, but Brooklin seemed to miss out on the breaks of the game.

Teen Toi By Danny Reesor The Public School this Friday ev- ening will be the setting for another Teen Town dance. Ajax Teen Town has been extended an invitation and since our own examinations end this week, a good crowd is anticipated. The convenors are planning to have a number, of novelty dances especially designed for those who come stag-- so don't stay away if you haven't got a date. This doesn't mean that couples should stay away. Everyone needs some place to go, to sort of "let loose" after the cramming and studying for exams, so lets see a good crowd of teenagers out this Friday night. This is the "Outer Space Dance" and the dress is school dress. Don't forget Minor Hockey Night on Friday, March 28 The station switched to 980 kilo- cycles and increased its power output to five thousand watts at six o'clock Monday morning, the start of the pro- gramming 'day. Word was received on ¥riday morn- ing from the Department of Trans- port in Ottawa authorizing the-power increase and the change from 1430 to 980 kilocycles. Radio station manager Jack Weath- erwax said the power increase brings a vast listening audience for CHEX Radio. Residents of an area _extend- ing from Kingston in the East to Barrie in the West and North beyond Bancroft will. be able to hear the powerful new Voice of Peterborough. The discovery of quicksand at the Transmitter site on the Keene Road was the main reason that CHEX Radio missed its original target date of November 15th of last year. The swamp stuff appeared in the exact location of one of the four antenne towers. It being impossible to re- locate the tower, the quicksand had to be conquered. To accomplish this, heavy pile driv- ing equipment had to pe moved into the site and a concrete caisson was sunk to a depth of 30 feet to support the tower. , Chief Engineer Bert Crump said that the swamp nature of the ground has given CHEX RADIO a ground system that is next to perfect. Get Out Early fo Vole A possible closing hour pile up at the polls, and many red faced voters are forecast for Monday's voting. Many people have forgotten that Daylight Saving Time was in effect during the last election and it pro- duced an extra hour of voting at the end of the working day. If these voters depend on that hour to vote when they get home from work, they may be too late. Polls are open on Monday from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. The old advice of "Vote Early" ig therefore more time- ly than it has been for years.

"This old boat is a hazard as the water over it is very shallow and could very easily damage an outboard motor or a boat.

Once you are on the list you will probably get a postcard from one or more of the candidates notifying you of your polling place. If you are in doubt, eall your re- Ben- | turning officer. On March 31 report to your polling station. You cannot vote at any but the polling station at which you are ~| This is to guard against any ¥ - ¥ The ballot you will be given to mark contains the names of the can- didates for your riding only. They are in alphabetical order. The par- ties they represent are NOT indicated, Therefore it 4s important that you learn, before voting day? about the canditates in your riding and the parties they represent. sach polling booth is in charge of a deputy returning officer. Assist- ing him is a poll clerk. In addition, candidates appoint representatives (serutineers) at most polling stations to ensure voting is fair. These scrutineers are forbidden by law from making any suggestions or offering any inducement to voters. They may check your name on thelr lists--that is all. The poll clerk will check your name off the official voters' list to ensure that no one else votes in your name. The deputy returning officer hands you a ballot. At a table behind a curtain or in a partitioned booth you mark the ballot. No one may accom- pany you into this voting place. Your ballot must be marked with the pencil provided in the booth. It must be marked with an X in the space to the right of the name of the candidate of your choice. If any other mark is made on the ballot it is spoiled and will not be counted when the ballot box is opened. Mark your ballot right the first time. You get only one ballot . . . no chance to change your mind or make a correc- tion. The voter then folds his ballot once to ensure the secrecy of his vote. He hands the folded ballot to the deputy returning officer who tears the coun terfoil (proof that you cast a ballot) from it and HE places the still fold- ed ballot in the ballot box. Don't argue about this final step. The deputy returning officer must place your ballot in the ballot box. possi- hility of additional forged ballots be- ing placed in the box. Don't worry. The DRO won't see how you voted. You should stand there while he puts it in the box. But don't try to In- sist on doing it yourself. That's all there is. You have ex- ercised your right and performed your duty as a responsible citizen. And don't worry about the fair- ness of the count. When the box is opened, each candidate will have a representative there to protect his interests. registered. Extension - Urge Your Support write Mr.' R. E.

COPY of Letter to Township of Reach from the Dept. of Planning and Devlopment Re Carnegie Sub- division and stating that as we see that a problem will be created by the two lots being located in 'both the Village of Port. Perry and the Twp. of Reach, we are now wondering whether this southerly 33 ft. of these two lots could not be shown on the plan as blocks and withheld from de- velopment. The remaining 27 ft. of these two lots could be used to pro- vide a slightly greater frontage for each lot to bring them up to the re- quired area of 7,600 sq. ft.

Carnegie a copy of the re- solution sent to the Dept. of Plan- ning & Development and to state that Council feel that it is now a matter to be settled between the Department of Planning and Development, Reach Twp. and himself.

The Clerk was instructed to ac- knowledge this circular letter from the Department of Municipal Affairs and state that the Reeve and Council have considered your Bill No. 160 and have no objection to the extended Franchise as provided, The Act does however seem to pro- vide that an enumeration of the Mu- nicipality shall be made prior to any Municipal Election. In the past we have not experienced any difficulty or complaints regarding our Munici- pal Voters' List and it seems to us that an Annual enumeration of the Municipality would be a substantial and unnecessary expense on the Mu- nicipality.
